Definitions

  • Known rigid cigarette packets normally contain an orderly group of cigarettes accessible via an opening closed by a hinged lid, so that, when the lid is opened, the entire group is exposed to air, and the cigarettes, if not consumed within a short space of time, are subject to dehydration or other damage.
  • walls 11 of the two packets 3 are placed contacting each other so that front walls 8 of packets 3 are coplanar; and are made integral with each other via the interposition of a layer 12 of adhesive material, for connecting the two containers 6 which together define, in packet 1, an intermediate portion 1a housing the two groups G and the opposite ends of which are closed by respective lids 7.
  • Lines 46 and 47 define a panel 33' interposed between central panels 31' and 32' and designed to form one of lateral walls 33 of tubular element 30; while lines 45 and 48 respectively define, outwards of respective panels 32' and 31', two longitudinal tabs 52 and 53 which are folded squarely and placed one on top of the other to define the other of lateral walls 33.
